Plant Geography of Chile

From the reviews: “The book provides refreshing reading and offers ‘everything you always wanted to know about Chilean plant diversity’. It can be recommended not only to graduate students and researchers in plant biogeography, taxonomy and evolutionary biology but also to a broad audience of enthusiasts interested in South American plants.” (Jindřich Chrtek, Folia Geobotanica, Vol. 48, 2013) “The physical geography and geobiotic history of Chile is carefully summarized … thus making Earth history easier for, say, an ecologist to understand. … the use of tracks and plentiful distribution maps does make it easier to understand and visualize the connections between floral elements globally. … I highly recommend this text for those willing to incorporate geobiotic history, physical geography, taxonomy, and bioregionalization in their biogeographical pursuits.” (Malte C. Ebach, Systematic Biology, Vol. 61 (5), 2012) “Andrés Moreira-Muñoz has written a book on the evolutionary biogeography of Chile, from the viewpoint of plants. … I really enjoyed reading this book. It contains an impressive amount of information. … it explores different … approaches that have been proposed to explain biogeographical patterns, suggesting that the vicariance/dispersal dichotomy is just too simple a problem design to deal with the complexities of evolutionary biogeography. This book should be read by biogeographers, systematists, naturalists, ecologists, and any other person interested in biogeography and evolution.” (Juan J. Morrone, Cladistics, Vol. 28, 2012)
